SASH-WEIGHT.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MILO MATHER, a citizen of the United .States, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles, State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sash-Weights, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates primarily to a welght for balancing the weight. of window sash whereby the same will remain in any desired position between entirely open and entirely closed and the object thereof is to provide a sash weight for the above purpose formed entirely of reinforced concrete or the like and in which the means for attaching the weight to the window cord also forms the reinforcing for the weight.

While I have shown and will describe the preferred form of my invention, it will be understood that I do not limit myself to such preferred form but that various be used if desired, in the longitudinal center of which is positioned the reinforcing wires "6. In the present instance I have shown two wires, bent centrally of their length to form a carrying eyelet 7, which extends for a suitable distance above the top of body 5.

Immediately below eyelet 7, wires 6 are Specification of Letters Patent.

is formed, and act to prevent the wires from becoming accidentallywithdrawn.

The lower ends of wires 6 are spread or separated and are extended, one to each of the lower corners of the body, in an angular direction, primarily for the purpose of protecting the said corners from damage should the weight accidentally become separated or loosened from the sash cord and fall-to the bottom of the slide.

While I 'haveshown only two wires in the present device it will be understood tha more or less may be used as desired.

By this construction I have produced a cheap, simple and easily constructed sash weight which is equally adaptable for any of the present windows using sash weights.

Having described my invention what I claim is:

In a sash weight a body' formed of plastic material; a reinforcing member for said body extending longitudinally and centrally thereof and embedded therein, said reinforc-' ing member being formed of a plurality of wires bent centrally of their length to form an eye to reject from one end of said body and then ing twisted around each other along their entire length and having a plurality of equispaced eyes formed'along their length; the lower free ends of said wires extendingdownwardly and angularly,one to each corner of said "body member at the lower end thereof.

In witness that I claim the foregoin I have hereunto subscribed my name this 1 th
